Spooky Or Odd Coincidences And Events In The NHL

[CraigBillington]

Not sure if it really fits, but if I'm not misremembering, if a Calgary Vancouver first round match up goes to OT game 7.... the winner of that series is going to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Not in 2015

Not in 2015

That series didn't go to OT of Game Seven. It was a six game series.

The New York Rangers winning the 2020 Draft lottery having had a 0.31% chance at the #1 pick, after the guy the NHL contracted to conduct the drawing dropped and then repositioned only one of the 8 ping pong balls… that of the NYR.

In the 1980s, the Canucks had two players named Greg Adams, who played on the team at the same time.

Wasn't it also rumored for a long time the only reason this happened was because they traded for the wrong one at first and had to engineer a second trade to get the one they really wanted?

Years ago an Avalanche fan complained about Kevin Porter getting called up. Someone said told him to stop being so negative and that Porter would score the game winner. First guy said he'd eat a worm out of his garden if that happened. Well. Never vow to eat a worm if you lose a hockey bet

Beyond that, Milan Hejduk and Ryan Smyth scored their 300th goals in the same game:

According to his words, Miroslav Satan never ever received an offer from New Jersey Devils. That is weird, isnt it?

But we dont know, if there were any evil trade offers for him. That will be lost in the history.

@Chairman Maouth tell them about the Sedins last game thing

I don't know what you mean. It was revealed that they're brothers?

 

[WatchfulElm]

Ahhhhhh, my OCD has been satisfied seeing this.

It's because you didn't look at the time left in the 1st period.

found it.... the repetitive 2 and 3s, ie. theyre jersey numbers #22 #33

Shots were 33-22 going into OT.

Daniel scored his 22nd goal 33 seconds into the 2nd period, assisted by #23 Alex Edler.

Winning goal from Daniel was scored at 2:33 of OT, assisted by Henrik and Edler. It was Henrik's 23rd career OT assist.

The game took place on Bo Horvat's 23rd birthday.

The OT goal gave Markstrom his 23rd win of the season.

Power plays for the game were 3-2 in favour of Vancouver.

Faceoffs for the game were 33-22 in favour of Vancouver.

Between child 2 and child 3 exactly 982 days.

Respect to him for keeping his word about that.

Truthfully, I'm not sure I would have.

The Sedin twins. Identical twins playing on the same team (same line) for their entire career is bonkers when you think about it for a moment.

Anson Carter scoring 33 goals and 22 assists as their linemate in their breakout year.
